It should surprise nobody to learn that DSFL rookie receiving back, and first overall pick, Ashley Owens, aims to model his game after the Panthers powerful, versatile, elusive young runningback Christian McCaffrey. Although I would argue that McCaffrey is very much an all-around back and shouldn't be labeled a receiving back, as he's shown ability to dominate both on the ground and in the air, Ashley Owens receiving back archetype is due to what fits best with the NSFL's system. Either way, Owens aims to be a runningback who is truly elite in every facet of the game. He wants to be strong and steady enough to power through holes against a bruising defensive line. He wants to be able to not just slip out of the backfield, but line up at both slot and outside wide receiver in order to absolutely dominate his opponents. Ashley Owens wants to be the first NSFL runningback to hit 100 receptions in a season. He wants to be the first NSFL player to manage 1000 yards on the ground and 1000 yards receiving in the same season. He wants to put up at least 5000 of each in his career. Ashley Owens is modeled after the future GOAT Christian McCaffrey, and he'll show it on the NSFL field.
